I see. Very disappointing.
I suppose they can get away w/ DC out as a headphone amp because 1) headphone diaphragms are generally concealed and have a miniscule xmax anyway, making it very unlikely to be noticed, and 2) I think the power output vs. the windings in headphone drivers are far less likely to result in thermal damage than that equation for speaker drivers vs. a power amp.
Good to hear Schiit is capable of good customer support - my experience was abysmal. It took over 30 days to get an RA#, and on the relatively rare occasions any one responded to me, the general sentiment was dismissive. While their SQ is great, they are otherwise feeling aptly named to me. (That name of theirs is cute until things go south...)
